Margaret Cullinane T. 051 842 824

HSE Community Care Centre, Cork Road, Waterford X91 VX09

You can marry with us at a time during the day that suits you.

while in the summer months, up to 3pm is workable, allowing for daylight for your photos.

fairy lit backdrop, mood up-lighting, gold Chivarri chairs.
 Ceremony Decor & Planning
There are a range of celebrants to create a special and bespoke ceremony for you both.
Whether a simple civil ceremony, spiritual or humanist ceremony, there are a number of
recommended celebrants available in the region. We would like to recommend to you to
consider the following when planning your ceremony:

Flowers & Music

We recommend a ceremony arrangement for your celebrant’s table, which can be
prepared to display your wedding unity candles also. This arrangement is used on your
Top Table for the wedding banquet also
For music, we do recommend availing of a live musician or singer for your ceremony as it
does enhance the atmosphere of this very special occasion. You are welcome to share a
Spotify playlist with us which we can play from our PA system on the day also.

Décor
There are lots of choices available from pedestal displays, large urns with floral sprays,
blossom trees, bespoke chair pews, etc. Your florist and wedding décor specialists will
advise you. We have a list of recommended suppliers to help with you planning! Little
touches - a welcome sign to greet your guests, a pack of welcome tissues for joyful
moments, ceremony mini booklets or scrolls. A remembrance table, photo or candle, or
anything special can be arranged on a separate display table for you.
You are welcome to deliver your decorations to us and we will have everything in place
for you. Timing - ceremonies will last from 20 minutes to 30 minutes, it’s all down to what
elements you would like to include. Remember to do what makes you both happy! This is
the most important thing.
